Abstract

The classical laminar boundary layer on a parabolic cylinder is calculated using the Blasius series, with modifications to improve convergence, and supplemented by an asymptotic expansion valid far downstream from the nose. The flow due to displacement thickness is thereby found with sufficient accuracy to permit evaluation of its second-order effect upon the boundary layer near the stagnation point. The skin friction and heat transfer are found to be reduced there by both displacement and curvature.
